Scalewise
See every guitar scale across the neck, practice positions with clarity, and turn lesson ideas into something students can actually follow.
Scalewise is an iOS fretboard app for guitar teachers, students, and players who want scale practice to stay visual, immediate, and musical. Pick a scale, choose the key, set the tuning, and see every note on the neck with a layout that is easy to explain in a lesson and easy to follow in practice.
Features
Any scale, mapped clearly
Show pentatonics, major and minor scales, modes, and more across the full fretboard so practice time goes into playing instead of decoding diagrams.
Keys and tunings in seconds
Switch keys fast and move between standard, drop D, open G, and other alternate tunings without rebuilding your lesson material from scratch.
Live note detection
Use the microphone to highlight the notes you are actually playing so students can connect sound, position, and scale shape in real time.
Positions or full-neck view
Focus on a single position for muscle memory or zoom out to the whole map when you want to explain how shapes connect across the neck.
Ready for practice sheets
Print the current scale directly from the app for lesson handouts, home practice, or quick reference during rehearsal.
